Glympse is the first-ever mobile app for iPhone and Android that lets you share your location with others in real time — easily, temporarily, and safely. Glympse visually answers the question “Where are you?” with a dynamic map that updates your location in real-time. With Glympse, you no longer need to call or send a text to communicate your whereabouts and ETA – you simply send a “Glympse” to people so they will know exactly where you are for as long as you want them to. It is great for quick, temporary, and customized sharing with people who might not all be using the same brand of phone or the same apps.
With Glympse, you control who you share your location with and for how long so there is no risk of being permanently tracked. You are always in control to set time limits (up to 12 hours) and geo-boundaries on your share of location. After your “Glympse” has expired, it remains visible for just 48 hours before it is permanently deleted. Please note that we care a lot about privacy and safety. We never harvest or sell your data, and we delete visit our Privacy Policy here.
Millions of people globally use Glympse for quick, temporary, and customized sharing with people, regardless of what mobile device they have. It is the only location-sharing app to share location temporarily, so you set the amount of time you want to share your location. Glympse automatically expires once you arrive, and you can turn off your location-sharing to people at any time, so you can set it and forget it! Glympse gives you control of when you want to share your location with others and for how long. Download the Glympse app for free here: iPhone and Android
